We finally had "spring" weather this weekend. Cool in the mornings, upper 70s during the day. We took advantage by getting outside. On Saturday we went for a hike in the greenbelt. It was so fun watching Dax climb on giant rocks, walk thru the stream, skip rocks, and generally enjoy being a kid in nature. Link liked throwing rocks, too. After a relaxing family dinner at Firehouse Subs (a favorite with Dax because of the free fireman hat), we came home and climbed the tree in the front yard. Then Link decided he wanted to go for a walk, so we all joined him. :-) He led us around the block and we ran into our neighbors, Elisa & Mark Engelhardt. We hung out in their yard, throwing the ball for their dog, Bennett, and talking. Eventually we ended up in their back yard, with a glass of wine while the kids kicked their feet in the pool. It was a wonderful, inpromptu evening that really made us appreciate our neighbors.
Today was filled with a trip to the playground (with Trinity) and lots of backyard play time. Then for dinner we had a special treat of eating on the back patio. I cooked a pasta dish with lots of farmer's market goodies and shrimp. The cool breeze and relaxed dinner was fantastic. We topped it off with ice cream sandwiches. Great weekend!
we were really impressed with Dax's agility and confidence while climbing on the rocks
